Good reporter but Carney was in a bad position. He basically had to defend a completely hypocritical political tactic. Both sides use it. Carney for Press Corp Chairmen! =P
Carney has sold his soul to Barack Obama! He is a disgraced to the White house as well as the President and Vice President. I am still baffled that the Obama Administration is winning in head to head competitions against the Republican Nominees. They are completely unaccountable and gutless human beings in my view.
Anyone who thinks Carney is inept is stupid. His job is to be as calm, yet evasive, as possible. The press is so good at taking news and amping up the emotional factor to support their own political views that Obama needs someone who is level-headed and even a little boring. To me, Carney demolished Tapper; rather than getting pumped up or angry, he coolly dismisses Tapper, almost out of boredom or exasperation; his message is, "I know exactly what you're doing, and I won't let you play with me"
i'm sure they'll put Tapper in the back row for now on. There's such a double standard when it comes to obama. When the left criticized and protested Bush, it was freedom of speech, but when the right or Tea Party criticizes Obama it's racism.

Maddow and Carney not only have same hair, but now the same glasses.

Thank you Jake Tapper for asking the questions that no one else (in the MSM) will ask!
